The Reality of Khilafah — Page 130
SIRRUL-KHILAFAH-THE REALITY OF KHILAFAH حَضَرُوا الْمَوَاطِنَ كُلَّهَا مِنْ صِدْقِهِمْ حَفَدُوا لَهَا فِي حَرَّةٍ رَجُلَاءِ They presented themselves for every battle; such was their sincerity. They hastened forth even if they had to cross the wilderness. الصَّالِحُوْنَ الْخَاشِعُوْنَ لِرَبِّهِمْ الْبَائِتُونَ بِذِكْرِهِ وَبُكَاءِ They were righteous and humble before their Lord. They spent their nights remembering Allah and crying before Him. قَوْمٌ كِرَامٌ لَا نُفَرِّقُ بَيْنَهُمْ كَانُوا لِخَيْرِ الرُّسُلِ كَالْأَعْضَاءِ They were all noble people; we do not differentiate between them. They were like the limbs of Khairur-Rusul [the Best of Messengers]. 130 بَلْ حِشْنَةٌ نَشَأَتْ مِنَ الْأَهْوَاءِ مَا كَانَ طَعْنُ النَّاسِ فِيهِمْ صَادِقًا People speaking ill of them is not just; It is rancour which is born out of their low desires. إِنِّي أَرَى صَحْبَ الرَّسُوْلِ جَمِيعَهُمْ عِنْدَ الْمَلِيْكِ بِعِزَّةٍ قَعْسَاءِ When I observe the Companions of the Messenger, I realise that all of them have been favoured by Allah with everlasting honour.
